Soulstealer: The Soulflake Conspiracies: Volume One

Tam Warden was a war hero, and then a sort of government enforcer. He gave up rank and fame to marry across class lines. But government isn't done with him yet. He's called back to action to investigate Bekka's claims - discreetly. This is delicate work, because the truth could unbalance the nation.

Essa Bateman is a mercenary spy, a hard woman with no attachments and very few ethics. Few, it turns out, is more than 'none.' She sees the ripples of unrest from the underbelly of society, but deciding what to do about them is a different beast entirely.

In a world where gunpowder is manufactured from the souls of executed criminals, and the ultra-rich seek immortality at any price, where children labour in factories and the desperate poor turn to vampirism, where slavery is rampant and gangs rule the streets...

A few people are about to be heroes. They just don't know it yet.

But maybe, just maybe, the Revolution is coming.

'Phenomenally imaginative and intricately plotted, Soulstealer explores the cost of violence--even when necessary--and the corrupting influence of power, both magical and political. Cameron keenly examines the darkest depths of imperialist exploitation through the lens of a sweeping, science-filled adventure. The depth of worldbuilding is simply incredible, and continues to expand with every plot revelation' - Sunyi Dean, bestselling author of The Book Eaters
